Yarmouth

Churchill Mansion is an old home in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, that had been converted to an inn. It has a well-known reputation for being haunted, and when Holly Stevens and I taped an episode of our TV series “Ghost Cases” there in the winter of 2009 we weren’t the first television show that had filmed an episode of a paranormal-themed show there.

The stories at the Mansion revolved around the original owner, Aaron Churchill, a famous seafarer and entrepreneur who was said to haunt the place with lascivious intentions towards any female guests, and his niece Lottie, who eventually suffered a mental breakdown and wound up in an asylum in Boston.

What happened that evening terrified Holly, and still has me asking questions all these years later.
